To be honest, I'm only about 10 hours into the game but I thought I should comment anyway.
The music is really good with some great memorable tunes that wouldn't sound out of place in a Chronicles of Narnia movie. The setting for the game too is atmospheric and sucks you in, it makes a nice change from Laxius Force.
Story so far has been great and no doubt I can expect some wicked twists that you are known for.
I absolutely love the character artwork, location artwork, from the pixel art through to the static drawn images, its a big improvement and breathtakingly beautiful.
One negative thing was Rayanne's outfit as its the same outfit worn by that woman in Laxius Force who was smashed in the stomach and bled to death. Would have been nice if she had a custom costume and not a re-used one.
I love her menu portrait though as I do the rest of the characters.
The skill system is a breath of fresh air too, its nice to be able to upgrade already learnt skills from expert, to master and then Guru. And combat hasn't changed much but thats a good thing.
Overall, a very compellingly beautiful game to play, I find its hard to put it down and I especially love the secret rooms as they are certainly worth discovering, boosts my income!
Dialogue is of your usual high standard as well.
I can see this game getting a high score from rpgfan!
